Salmonella outbreak: More salads, trays with cucumbers sold at Kroger stores recalled

(NEXSTAR) — Additional salads and vegetable trays sold at Kroger stores in nine states have been voluntarily recalled in response to a multistate salmonella outbreak connected to cucumbers.

Several recalls have been initiated since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration linked cucumbers grown by Florida-based Bedner Growers and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Inc. to more than two dozen illnesses across 15 states. At least nine people had been hospitalized.
